No but there’s been times I’ve thought I smoked it and turned out I failed

Yup, I studied for one week, and the night before I thought I won’t pass, so I did a movie marathon. Guessed 25% of the MCQs and still somehow passed 77 on BEC

Yes I got the answer on Nov 3rd

This always happened to me- thought I failed but i end up passing so good luck!

New York folks:
Are you aware of the CPA exam credit extension to 2021 for NY CPA candidates impacted by COVID19? It’s on a person-by-person basis and you need to request the extension. Has anyone tried doing this yet? Can anyone shine more light on this? The extension would really help me, but I’m not sure what more to tell them in my email than the fact that I couldn’t sit for the exams this Spring/Summer due to test centers closing in NYC.
